@anthropologydp Amateur. I once saw a distinguished anthropologist sit in a colloquium and slowly open mail using a letter opener. This person would slowly slit the envelope open, then blow loudly into the envelope, then noisily unfold the paper, and then slowly tear the letter up.

Quirky discovery. The volume of water used in this ancient Egyptian baboon clepsydra is roughly equivalent to the volume of liquid an adult male baboon bladder can hold. metmuseum.org/art/collection…
If it's three strikes you're out, then McCarthy must be playing cricket.
At the risk of having my account suspended because of a rich fool with a thin skin. Here's to truly free speech. businessinsider.com/elon-musk-priv…
@LeaCoffineau Until about 30 years ago, mandatory retirement ages were common, but the money saved never was spent on postdocs and grad students. Let's face it, any administrator who imposed mandatory retirement ages would then be granted a raise that would chew up all the money saved.
Now that Musk has taken over, I'm struck by the increased number of unwanted messages messages I get about sex and job opportunities from complete strangers. I'm almost to the point of being so creeped out I'm going to leave twitter.
@LeaCoffineau I always use the average of their grades on other work as a baseline. If they are getting A's, then they are mentally participating and engaged even if they are shy.
Just got this and I can't wait to read it! ZK Matthews was an anthropologist and student of Malinowski. He taught at the South African Native College where he mentored Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Forgotten by mainstream anthro, his ideas were ahead of their time.

@LeaCoffineau You have the ability and intelligence to become a scholar. For all who stick it out, is it is a question of the tolerance of the peculiar form of bs academia generates and the imposter syndrome that bs feeds
Debates about daylight saving time always seem to focus on time zones not latitude. I'd love to see a study that demonstrates the distance from the equator where DST makes any sense. There is no DST in the tropics, and close to the poles I don't think it matters much, either.
I think Susan Collins and Joe Manchin should form their own third-party caucus in the senate just to play with the heads of McConnell and Schumer.
In PA, the only thing worse than running a candidate from NJ in an election in PA would be running a candidate from Ohio who played football for Ohio State.
@ethnopoetics So glad he dropped out of the U of Chicago anthro grad program. The world was made a better place as a result.
@SteveTromans The bass does 3 + 4, the crash/kick leads me to feel the drums as 2 + 5. This is really cool because normally one is used to the bass and drums being in sync, but in this song, their slight difference creates interesting layers.
@DisabilityStor1 My union is advising anybody who gets COVID to apply for workers compensation just in case they come down with long covid. At least in NY, the workers comp folk are accepting long covid as a reason for workers compensation.
@NomiClaireLazar This is fine, but I was much happier on Barrel Day in the month of Wine.
@NomiClaireLazar Super niche bad jokes are the reason why scholars should never do comedy 😃
@NomiClaireLazar I did, but he said it was outside of his job title. These sorts of things happen when you only have a skeletal staff.
Once again I am struck by the fact that the plastic human skeletons that we can wheel around into classrooms don't, but should, come with a cup holder.
